Preclinical Development and Validation of Translational Temperature Sensitive Iodized Oil Emulsion Mediated Transcatheter Arterial Chemo-Immuno-Embolization for the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Herein a practical strategy for augmenting immune activation in transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is presented. Pluronic F127 (PF127) is incorporated with Lipiodol (LPD) to achieve safe and effective delivery of therapeutic agents during transcatheter intra-arterial (IA) local delivery. Enhanced emulsion stability, IA infusion, embolic effect, safety, pharmacokinetics, and tumor response of Doxorubicin loaded PF127-LPD (Dox-PF127-LPD) for TACE in both in vitro and in vivo preclinical VX2 liver cancer rabbit model and N1S1 HCC rat model are demonstrated. Then, transcatheter arterial chemo-immuno-embolization (TACIE) combining TACE and local delivery of immune adjuvant (TLR9 agonist CpG oligodeoxynucleotide) is successfully performed using CpG-
